--- Comment #4 from yolo <[email protected]> --- With Apple’s on-the-fly character replacements it is difficult to determine what characters are actually present in a font. BLACK STAR U+2605 should not exist in Helvetica but Font Book has it, and in globe-accessed Character Viewer you have to click through 50 or so fonts to determine it doesn’t actually exist in Helvetica even though macOS shows it like nobody’s business same for MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS U+22EF HERE’S THE BUG: Skia did away with the character replacements implemented in macOS 26.4.1, so lots of characters in all kinds of fonts display as .notdef zero glyph white rectangle Skia in its 26.2 implementation is inadequate on macOS and a bad idea. This is possibly unfixable impact: macOS users have been deprived of Unicode since 2022 into the present cause: LibreOffice didn’t bother testing Skia on macOS LibreOffice must revert to the APIs that work. LibreOffice needs to do a feasibility study on the Skia approach for macOS -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
